    New PM Gear Fat All-Carbon 115s

    The best of the Wailer 105 and the Lotus 120 rolled into one, but prettier, and made in USA.

    My only change would be to do a white top sheets with cutout graphics showing bits of carbon (instead of mostly carbon with white graphics) so they won't heat up and collect snow while skinning. No one else would want that though, the carbon topsheets are too pretty to cover.

    PURE SEXY

    Patches has some all carbon 191 Fats on the way. We had some weird shit happen when we flipped to the new carbon weaves. Threw us a mean curve and set us back a bit but everything has been squared away. He's excited like the rest of us. Vets and gone2alpine are out on the all carbon 186s today. Patches is a little anxious, as he should be. We are on the verge of some very cool developments, as the new skis will demonstrate.

    Can't tell you how much I hate dark topsheets for that reason, they also heat up on the lift and then snow gets on top and freezes your first few turns with 'em back on the snow...white or some light color all the way.

    They look so darn good though its almost worth it carting around the extra pounds of snow. They are the best looking skis I've ever seen.

    Splat I'm not anxious, there's no snow and even if there were I can struggle though with my DPS skis for a few months.

    I'll get some pics up of the 186s this week. These super hybrid layups and multiple carbon weaves can get a little tricky, so we had to overcome a lot of new issues that arose. I think the skis will definitely turn some heads this year. Currently bustin hump to get the orders pressed and shipped out. I'll let the people who get theirs on some snow be the judges. 186s ship first, then everything else will follow. No weight on the 191 Fats, as we haven't gotten to them yet. But the all carbon version is gonna blow your mind when you get on them, Patches.

    So much for my equipment budget this year...
    The blues has always been about taking your problems and turning them into something you can dance to, drink to and fuck to.
    We're certainly not a blues band in any kind of purest sense, but to me Rock and Roll has always had it's roots in that tradition.
